Sonoma County approves resolution supporting agricultural industry

The Sonoma County Board of Supervisors this week approved a resolution declaring agricultural land critical infrastructure, supporting the local industry amid addressing economic and environmental challenges.

With this effort, the Board of Supervisors, which also serve as the Board of Directors of the Sonoma County Agricultural Preservation and Open Space District, will direct county departments and partner agencies to coordinate support for the long-term sustainability of agriculture in Sonoma County. The resolution will center on a work plan aimed at better preserving land and supporting farmers facing increasing operational costs and market instability.
